How to Beat Lesley — Strategy

Lesley is a marksman. The same strategic principles that beat marksmans in general apply to Lesley specifically:

1. Dive their backline early — pick assassins or fighters who can close the gap.
2. Build attack-speed reduction (Dominance Ice) and burst — out-trade their DPS before they scale.
3. Gank bot/gold lane before 7 minutes — marksmen need time to ramp.
4. Ban their support if it's a peel-heavy pick (Estes, Mathilda, Floryn).
